Particles, Colors, Music.

We’ve finally gotten around to creating a standalone version of Auditorium, and it’s heading to the Steam Store and the Cipher Prime Store! Expect to see it up in the next few weeks!

We’ve been hinting at this game for a while now. We even showed off an early version of it at the IGDA Philly Dev Night in November. So if you’ve been wondering what “Splice” is all about, the Philadelphia Inquirer has the scoop. Check out the exposé by Geekadelphia’s Eric Smith in his article A Look At Cipher Prime’s ‘Splice’.

Hey guys! I’ve just put an entry into Olivia Broadfield/TUAW‘s “Say” remix competition! As some of you know, I’m a huge fan of Propellerhead‘s Reason software, and while Reason 5 has been pretty great to me, after using the trial of Reason 6 to do this competition I’m simply not going back. Being able to have live audio go directly into Reason is amazing enough, but the changes to the work flow are also stunning — this remix took me less than 6 hours!

Due to technical issues experienced with our publisher—namely that they are technically no longer our publisher—Fractal: Make Blooms Not War has been pulled from the iTunes App Store. Don’t worry, though. The situation is only temporary. Now that publishing rights have been returned to Cipher Prime, we’ll be re-releasing Fractal for the iPad under our own name. When Fractal does return to the store, it will be registered as an entirely different app and will need to be downloaded to receive the latest version and any future updates. Unfortunately, there’s no way to transfer purchases in a situation like this one. Keep your eyes posted on the blog for updates!

By popular demand, the Official Game Guide for Fractal: Make Blooms Not War is now available on the Fractal game page. This guide covers the mechanics and metrics for the different types of fractals, blooms, and game modes available.

Seasons Greetings from the Cipher Prime team! Pulse: Volume One, the Holiday Edition, is available NOW! In the spirit of giving, we’ve added six new tracks with this update, bringing Pulse up to nearly an hour of original music!  Two of our favorite tracks come complimentary of two great Gamercamp artists:  Jim Guthrie (Sword and Sworcery) and 6955 (Super T.I.M.E. Force).  We can’t wait to hear what you think of them!  You can also download and listen to the tracks on our Music page.  We meant to get these out earlier, but have been super busy, so we thank you for your continued patience and support!

Happy Holidays!  Guess what! Fractal is included in the Super Indie Bundle, an awesome holiday deal going on in the Steam Store right now! From now until January 2nd, this bundle of ten amazing games from some super cool indie studios is available for $19.99; that’s 77% off the cost of buying all ten games!

We’ve updated the Pulse: OST with four additional tracks. Now Pulse’s Catnip, High Roller, Orbital Drop, and Sahara are available for your aural enjoyment!
